Innovation

LOCAL DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING INTEGRAL TO HIDEAWAY® BINS

It all starts with design. Our focus on innovation is the reason why we have been market leaders in waste solutions since 2006. More recently, Hideaway Bins was first to market with our top mounted Hideaway laundry hamper in 2013, and then again in 2015 with the base mount laundry hamper.

Our in-house product development team includes a full time product design engineer, who is focused on constantly improving our existing designs, and pioneering new solutions. By using 3D CAD and rapid prototyping, we are quickly able to develop, test and evaluate design concepts.

COLLABORATION

Many ideas start from an ongoing collaboration with end-users and with the trade. Putting the homeowner at the centre of our process has driven our design philosophy to make sure we always make buckets easy to access and use. Hence the reason why all of our runner systems over extend to make accessing buckets easy. Mounting our bins at bench height allows easy disposal of waste without having to bend low inside cupboards. And the Hideaway Deluxe and Soft Close ranges feature integrated friction fitted lids, that reduce odours and keep hands free during use.

Our collaboration extends to designers and joinery manufacturers. We use opportunities like trade shows to engage directly with trade customers, inviting feedback and ideas for future improvements. We also recognise the unique requirements of the Australasian market.

With an industry leading design and manufacturing process, the team at Hideaway Bins continue to produce creative solutions for both residential and commercial storage, waste and recycling requirements.
